Good thing I looked on here to see that people had received emails. I've been checking every day and no news. Mine was in my JUNK folder.

Relieved! Good luck all!

Goonerdee

Nothing for me yet, even though I felt I had done badly I was still being hopeful!

Those who have passed, how long has it been since your IST, mine was two weeks ago.

Mine was on the 22 nd July and got the pass email yesterday. Just be patient I thought I had failed when I left the exam room as I completely froze during the spelling and grammar. They still have until the 8th September to post results so your still in with a chance.

Goonerdee

Fingers crossed here. It was the data card that wrecked me, I was working out figures and when I looked at the answer sheet what I got wasn't there!!

Few friends have received fail emails this morning, gutted for them

Rockchick1989

Got my pass email this morning. So they are still sending out passes.

Suzuka

Wonder why they lowered the IST pass mark from 51 to 48?

Will be interesting to see if the AC pass mark lowers from 60% (Grade to a Grade C or whatever, can't see it myself though

I am assuming it's due to lower numbers applying and to allow more people through to ac as they cut it down to much last time I think. Never know!

Probably casting a wider net to allow for no shows, no GCSE certs, etc. Perhaps they are also expecting a drop in candidates since the campaign start given the salary decrease.

I imagine if anything is lowered further it would be the PCA as that caught a lot of people out.

Failed by 1 lol oh well was only my first try so the exam was a bit of a shock to the system so on to the next (hopefully if there is one!). Congrats to all who passed and good luck with the rest of the process....

Gee-22

God knows. This was something like my 8th campaign. I felt after getting one foot in the door in 2011 that I might not get as close again.

I don't know if I can still keep chasing the dream. Time will tell. I doubt there will be another campaign for a while now, so I might not have a choice.

Hopefully the next recruitment comes round in time for you bud!

Speaking of the salary I'm surprised there hasn't been an official announcement yet (secretly hoping it puts loads off lol)

Sorry to hear that, Gee.

Only rumours as ever, but I heard there was potentially another drive commencing January 2015.

Sorry to hear that Gee. I know how much you want it.

My AC date is slap bang in the middle of my holiday, family holiday! They didn't want me going for the police this time and now I am cancelling the holiday to attend the AC, it's a bit quiet round here now!

I would email deloitte before cancelling as I had my IST date changed due to a holiday. I emailed them as soon as I got my date with the holiday details.

Look under point 2 in the email; it gives you all the info. All you can do is ask, just get in there early

I had my AC put back last time because i was on holiday on the date. E-mail them with proof of your holiday (flight confirmation, details from travel agents etc) and they should be able to help you out.
